How do I get the words of a traditional scottish folk song - hush hush?

Question

The Corries done this on their Love From Scotland album

Answer 1

CHO: Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby

Once our valleys were ringing
With songs of our children singing
But now sheep bleat till the evening
And shielings lie empty and broken

Where is our proud highland mettle
Our troops once so fierce in battle
Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle
And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean

No use pleading or praying
For gone, gone is all hope of staying
Hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighing
Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby

Answer 2

Looked up The Corries and their discography, but can't find a song called "Hush Hush"...also looked up "Traditional Scottish Folk Songs" and no song of this name listed...is it known by another title? (Did find the traditional lullaby "Hush, Baby", if this is what you're looking for) Links below...

Answer 5

you notice no difference in view which you're in all probability no longer black. even however, as we communicate's youthful technology of blacks call themselves "*****". they have destroyed the potential of the offensive notice "******" and altered the way it rather is asserted on an identical time as using it as a term of endearment among themselves. the concern with non-blacks using it rather is that they do no longer proportion the comparable existence studies or stressful circumstances nor to they proportion the historic previous of what that initially notice meant. oftentimes situations they'll say "******" rather than "*****" which might offend any black man or woman.

Answer 7

Hush, hush, hushabye,
Hush, my baby, do not cry;
Nice sugar'd broth to you I'll bring,
And 'til you sleep, to you I'll sing,
Hush, hushabye.

Hush, hush, hushabye,
Hush, my babe, no danger nigh,
As in your cradle now you swing,
Until you sleep I softly sing,
Hush, hushabye.
